[Peugeot-L] sunroof lubrication

The already-sluggish sunroof in my Mi16 wouldn't do anything at all yesterday - turned out the relay in the roof compartment had gradually slipped out of its socket.

I never open the sunroof (slide to the rear) but only use the "flip-up the back edge" feature. In yesterday's investigation I pushed the glass rearward a bit and found that the front edge of the glass frame was seriously rusted (where it rests on the pop-up air dam). Time to scrape off the rust and get some Rustoleum. The lesson here is to actually open the sunroof occasionally to catch a problem before it becomes a big job.

The question is about lubricants, and I know there'll be a lot of different opinions.

1 - The sunroof retracts very slowly and requires manual assistance from the driver. What lubricant can I use to improve its operation?

2 - I like the "flip-back" feature but sometimes it needs a push from me to get the back edge fully up. It closes without assistance. What lubricant should I use to improve it?
